Where can I find wild bamboo in Melbourne?

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Where can I find wild bamboo in Melbourne?

I am interested in cutting some of my own bamboo in Melbourne in order to experiment with making bushwalking things (e.g. walking poles - just for fun). I know there are some varieties that grow in Melbourne's climate so does anyone know of some wild stands on public land where it would be legal to cut (since it is not native, I can't see there could be a law against removing it unless in the Botannic Gardens!).

Good idea! I might try that, although I would not have the pleasure of harvesting it myself...
